The movie Conclave has received widespread critical acclaim and has sparked interest in similar films. Since Conclave is not currently available to stream, viewers may want to consider watching another incredible drama about the transition between two Popes, which is currently available on Netflix.
The Netflix film, The Two Popes, was released in 2019 and tells the story of Pope Benedict and his eventual successor Pope Francis. The two must face their pasts and find common ground to find a new way forward for the Catholic Church. The film explores themes of religion, faith, politics, and more, and provides a unique perspective on the papacy.
Conclave and The Two Popes both explore similar themes, but offer different directorial perspectives on the same ideas. A double feature of both films would provide an interesting examination of the papacy and how those surrounding it react to major changes.
Conclave, on the other hand, is a new mystery thriller film that follows the complicated election of a new pope. The film features a talented cast and explores themes of conspiracy and corruption within the Vatican.
For those who have seen or are waiting to see Conclave, watching The Two Popes on Netflix would be a great way to explore the subject matter further.
